# 3.2. Are there Linux distributions that come with KDE?

Yes, major Linux distributions already ship KDE. As building a distribution takes some time, they might not always contain the latest version, but for a start or to avoid downloading from the Internet, they do provide a good starting point.

Below are some of the distributions we know to ship KDE. You can find an up-to-date list of distributions that ship with KDE at the KDE Distribution List.

- Red Hat Linux

- S.u.S.E. Linux

- DLD Linux

- Caldera OpenLinux

- MkLinux

- Linux-Mandrake

- Stampede Linux

- LinuxPPC

In addition, some computer magazines are available with a CD containing KDE:

- Chip (in German)

- Dream (in French)

- PC Quest (in English)
